“He’s just a nice, nice guy,” says the actress, who appeared with Bruce Willis in “Pulp Fiction” in 1994 and in “No Half Measures” in 2000.
Rosanna Arquette looks back with affection at the “gentleman” Bruce Willis and his days before his fame.
“He’s just a sweet, nice guy,” the actress tells PEOPLE about her co-star in The full program (2000) and pulp Fiction (1994) before their appearance at the 15th TCM Classic Film Festival, which began with a 35mm screening of pulp Fiction in honor of its 30th anniversary.
Although she and Willis appeared in two films together, “I remember him more as the bartender (in New York City) that everyone went to, this cafe called Café Central, and that was the place to hang out,” recalls Arquette, 64.
“He was the bartender just before he Undeclared work,” she continues. “Everyone from De Niro to Scorsese (came). It was like it was the real experience.”
